GhostImageStudio

Rotate or flip an image.

Turn a sideways photo upright or mirror it — on your device, never uploaded.

Rotate or flip an image right in your browser — no upload, no signup, no watermark. Turn a sideways phone photo upright, spin a scan 90°, flip a picture into its mirror image, or set it upside down. GhostImage applies the turn on your device and re-encodes the result in its own format: JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG, and WebP, AVIF, and iPhone HEIC all work too (HEIC is decoded locally with WebAssembly). Because nothing is uploaded, a private photo rotates just as privately as a screenshot — and each turn is a step in the studio chain, so you can rotate, then crop, resize, or compress in the same pass.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop your image

    Drag a JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, or HEIC file onto the page or click to browse. It opens in the GhostImage studio with Rotate pre-selected.

  2. 2

    Pick a rotation or flip

    Choose 90° right, 90° left, or 180°, or flip the image horizontally or vertically. Apply again to stack turns — two 90° steps make 180°.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    Save the rotated image straight from your browser, or keep editing — crop, resize, compress, or strip metadata in the same tab.

Frequently asked questions

  • How do I rotate an image without uploading it?

    GhostImage rotates the photo in your browser and hands back the turned file — there is no upload endpoint, which you can confirm in your browser's Network tab. The image never leaves your device.

  • Does rotating an image reduce its quality?

    A 90°, 180°, or 270° turn and a horizontal or vertical flip move pixels without resampling them, so there's no blur from the rotation itself. The file is re-encoded once in its own format at high quality, which is visually lossless for photos.

  • Can I flip or mirror an image instead of rotating it?

    Yes. Alongside the 90°/180° rotations there are horizontal (↔) and vertical (↕) flips, so you can mirror a photo or correct a back-camera selfie that came out reversed.

  • How do I fix a photo that keeps showing up sideways?

    Rotate it to upright and download — the correction is written into the pixels, not stored as orientation metadata some apps ignore, so it displays the right way up everywhere.

  • Can I rotate an iPhone HEIC photo?

    Yes. HEIC is decoded on your device with a WebAssembly build of libheif, so iPhone photos rotate like any other image — still with no upload.

  • Is it free, with no watermark?

    Yes. Free, no watermark, no signup, and no limit on how many images you rotate.

Every GhostImage tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded — there's no upload endpoint to send it to.
